My bags are packed

Ok, truthfully, as it stands... there is no way that I'll be getting on any plane with all the stuff that I have in my hotel room. I have items to mail, items to give away, and a whole lot of stuff to 'sort though'..

I will be leaving on a jet plane... in a week. I'm Crossing fingers hoping that I'll get a plane with the video screens in every seat... because, I'm telling ya... those forever and a day flights take a long, long time to end. I do have my portable DVD player as a back up 'entertainment' option. I usually read, knit, and watch videos... and the videos come in handy... especially in hour 9 of the flight that seems to never end... because, I am one of those people that CAN NOT sleep on a plane.

The movers did manage to get my household goods packed up and put in the sea crates... Ok, they forgot to pack an oscillating fan and my newly purchased micro-wave from the blog entry: the fire that was and wasn't...

and let me just say this..

I now know that I have a lot more stuff than I thought I had... that's what happens when you have it all stored away... doesn't look like so much until you see all those boxes everywhere.. Maybe a couple of times every year.. I should just drag everything out of the closets, shelves, and other storage containers/etc. so, I can actually 'see' the stuff.

I am using the 'pay for the Internet' at the hotel... and the server isn't as fast as what I had at my apartment... and as a result, I couldn't download photos on this blog entry.

If any of the stuff you can't take is yarn, especially of the silk or Malabrigo variety, feel free to send to me. I'll pay postage. I swear

ha ha...

Yarn is part of the 'stuff' that was hauled to the hotel... but, some will go on the plane w/ me, my log cabin squares and some other yarns to keep me entertained until my household goods arrive (3 months later) will be mailed so that they are there when I get there... so, I'm sorry to say that I'm mailing yarn or putting it in my suitcase...

SORRY... lol


I have to think that the hotel room maid 'must' think that I'm one of the Clampets moving to the big city hauling all of my possessions with me. :D
